Merida Scultura Disc 200 (2017)

The 2017 Merida Scultura Disc 200 is an entry-level road bike. Nicely equipped, the 200 sports Shimano's Sora drivetrain, delivering quick, clean shifts across a widely-geared 9-speed cassette; paired with compact gearing, this bike can climb like a mountain goat. Stopping power is reliably provided by the Promax mechanical disc brakes, rain or shine. The least expensive disc-equipped bike in the Scultura line, this model benefits from the performance geometry developed for the top-of-the-line models, offering aggressive positioning and smooth aerodynamics at a modest price.
A good entry-level road racer.
